Catch-up Day for Lucky Dip – Story Cube & Puzzle Piece https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2023/01/07/saturday-mix-lucky-dip-7-january-2023/

The clock said it was time, time to do magic. I got my magician’s cane, my potion book, and boarded an airplane to my next destination. I prefer street magic, with people all around. They don’t know they are pawns in my nefarious dirty deeds. heh heh

Nevermind, I set up my table while the victims watched. Pulling my purple cape open, I showed them I had nothing to hide. With a flourish then, I whisked out a bouquet of marigold flowers. The crowd oohed and aahed at that. Delicately I pulled off the orange petals and dropped them into a bowl, added a few drops of my potion (poison … don’t tell anyone), and stirred it around mixing well. I said some fancy sounding words of incantation, and dipped my fingers into the bowl.

With my dripping fingers I flung the droplets at the crowd. Everyone got splashed, but they laughed at the pretty rainbow sparkles the mixture made. But, I’d have the last laugh, I’d just changed their entire DNA, and in time they would morph into many macabre monsters.

I packed up my materials, plus the basket of money the people had donated and went on my way. I had a plane to catch to the next venue.
